I don't think there is any difference in building a mini as opposed to a full sized stand up cabinet except for the cost of controls since you can fit less on the CP of a mini.  I'm up to roughly $650 already on my mini and I had a computer to use already (but the end is near!).

Hurry up and finish your mini already! That's one that I really enjoy following since my second cab (see that? I'm already assuming the first will go well) will most likely be a mini for my niece and nephew. Yours is looking great!

haha - thanks!  I'm in the middle of a deep freeze - literally.  I really can't paint until the weather gets warmer or I figure something out (which I'm working on).  It's making me crazy!  I've already starting thinking about cab #3 - it never stops!  :cheers:

I did quite a bit of research but I should have done more.  When I build my cabinet I kinda make up my own plan and it didn't transfer from paper to real life like I wanted.  The marquee sticks out like a overhang and is 7 inches tall..  It was really boxy looking with almost zero angles and the control panel was about 4 inches higher.  Also this thing is deeper than I thought but thats not a big deal.  After building it and playing on it for a few months I took it down and did some "editing."  I would do this because I overlooked it.  Look at preexisting cabinet plans and just modify them to your liking.  For example I like the the top of the defender game but I don't like that overall size and the front sticking out like that.  So I took that idea and mixed it with some others.  Also go cheep on the first one because you might saw aww to hell with this half way threw.  Im planning on rebuilding the first cabinet and starting a cocktail cabinet when it get warmer out.
